Monster Hunter Freedom

Overview

Monster Hunter Freedom is a 2005 action role-playing game developed and published by Capcom for the PlayStation Portable. The first handheld installment in the Monster Hunter franchise, the game is an enhanced port of Monster Hunter G, rebalanced to allow for easier solo quest completion and game progression.

Just like its predecessors, Monster Hunter and Monster Hunter G, this game revolves around the player completing quests and gathering materials to upgrade their equipment in order to advance. The more rare the items and equipment, the stronger the main physical aspects of the character will be. Unlike other hack 'n' slash games, this game requires planning and skill in order to overcome large monsters instead of brute force. There are many weapons which the hunter can use to bring down the monsters, these are Sword and Shield, Great Swords, Dual Blades, Hammers, Lances, Light Bowguns and Heavy Bowguns. Each requires a variety of items to create which are acquired by completing quests, and collecting the spoils carved from monsters or found on the ground.

The game received "average reviews" as reported by video game review aggregator Metacritic. In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of two nines and two eights, for a total of 34 out of 40.
